Thu troops 'wore afield and in lino,' and at ton minutes past ten tho Emperors, with a magnificicnlly dressed staff of Aids, Arch Dukes, Princes, Marshals, Generals, &c., dashed, with their high blooded and proud steeds, upon tho ground. A bright sun gave tho Alliost ef fect to all this gbrgcotls and glittering paraphernalia of war. The Emporora wero dressed in the uniform of tho Polish Lancers—their Aids in crimson and gold—the others oflho staff In tho uniforms of their respective corps. There wero upwards of 30,000 troops on (ho Hold, of which 20,000 wore infantry and rifle, Snd 10,000 cavalry and artillery. Of tho mounted men, 3000 were lancers, ond streaming from each lanco was a black and yellow flag.

Tlicro was a marching distance of about six rods between each section. The band of each division, as (hoy reached tho Erhporor, moved out to tho left, and, playng till their corps had passed, tfas succeeded by the next. Tho lino wus two hours in passing. After this there was a review of a regiment of lancers whoso horses wero pul to tho top of their speed. Tho effect was thrilling, and this closed tho day. Tho Emperors returned to tho palaco and tho troops to their quarters. Tlicro wore a largo number of Court ladies, in Court carriages, upon (he field.

Gen. Houston was received with loud huzzas, and made but a few remarks, He knew the nom inees intimately and well, and vouched for (heir patriotism, talents, and sound Democracy. By the letter which had Just been read, it would be seen that Gen. Pierce was for the whole Union and nothing less. [Applause.] He likewise spoke in warm approbation of the platform.

Wo have, ho said, assembled here to night, to congratulate the country and one another, on tho cordial ro-unlon of the Democratic parly. Tho na tional Convention has presented a platform on which all the Democrats can stand with hoogr and with safety. A platform worthy of tho best days of the parly under a Jefferson or a Jabkson. They have also presented to us the names of two emi nent statesmen for our support, as President and Vice President of the United States—men whose principles are in perfect harmony with tho Plat form, whoso lives and characters illustrate and adorn that system of government which It is our aim and mission, as a party to maintain and per petuate. With such such a Platform and such a ticket, a glorious victory awaits us. [Applause.] It is unnecessary todetain you with a discuss ion as to the principles of the ,two parties ; but 1 shall bo prepared Ibr the Whigs when they shall have presented their candidate and platform. Ido not'wish to make a charge against them until we havp the objects before us, that we may have a fair fight; then let tho weakest side sink under tho blow.

Without questioning their pa triotism and talents, they lack the sympathy of the masssos, and confidence in the vlrliJo <Jf the people, which should porvado every branch and department of a free government. Failing in forming the Constitution as they desired, and in corporating in that instrument Such provisions and features as wore acceptable to them, they now seem to .accomplish their purposes by loose and unauthorized constructions of (ho powers of that 'instrument.
